I’m five songs into working on the new Oppressed by the Line disc, and my laptop’s power supply has quit working. At least I HOPE it’s the power supply! My laptop has lost the ability to charge (or even work) from wall power. The result was a panicked emergency back up of most of my harddisk, using the remaining battery power. Utterly shit. Utterly annoying. So essentially my laptop is collecting dust. The disc is on mothballs until I can sort this out.

I’ve put through an order for a replacement power supply from the manufacturer..but unfortunately it had to be ordered from the US and shipped to a US address…I live in London so this is a bit of an issue. I’ve managed to have it sent to a stateside family member, and will hopefully be up and working again soon. However, this downtime has already stretched on for some 3 weeks and is growing tiresome.

My desktop PC is knackered and inadequate in almost every way, so it’s not an option. In the meantime, I’m catching up on my reading.
